Ingredients

  • 0.3 cup apple cider vinegar 
  • 0.3 teaspoon pepper black freshly ground
  • 0.5 cup t brown sugar dark packed
  • teaspoon ground mustard dry
  • pound turtle beans dry
  • 0.3 cup blackstrap molasses 
  • 0.3 pound slab bacon cut into 1 1/2-inch chunks
  • large onion white quartered

Equipment

  • bowl
  • sauce pan
  • oven
  • whisk
  • dutch oven

Directions

  1. Place the beans in a large bowl.
  2. Add enough water to cover by three inches.
  3. Let stand at least 10 hours.
  4. Drain and transfer to a large saucepan.
  5. Add just enough water to cover.
  6. Let simmer, adjusting the water level so the beans remain just covered, until the skins open readily, about 1 hour. Meanwhile, whisk together the molasses, vinegar, mustard, sugar, pepper, and 2 tablespoons of water.
  7. Drain the beans.
  8. Place the onion in a 2-quart Dutch oven.
  9. Add the beans. Cover with the salt pork or bacon. Cover with the molasses mixture.
  10. Heat oven to 300 F. Cover Dutch oven and bake, checking often, until the beans are tender, the meat is falling apart, and the liquid is thick and bubbly, about 6 hours.
  11. Add more water (or even a second batch of the molasses mixture) if the beans start to dry out.
  12. Serve with buttered bread.
